Yesterday


An Iowa Youth Ran Down In saIina
Yesterday.
Some two months ago, a young
man about twenty-six years Of age,
arrived In Salina seeking employ
msnt. He was out OF money and
his appearance indie ated that the
world was using him rough. Peck
Bros. secured him work out 81
Clark's ranch, twelve miles west Of
Salifa, and there he labOred faith
fully until about two weeks ago,
when he returned 70 the city and
put up at the Grand Central. Dur
ing this time having earned some
money, he bTaeed up, was wearing
good clothes and taking life easy.
While staying around the hotel his
manners did not create suspicion
and no one supposed he was q Grim
lnal fleeing from justice. On the
early freight train Sunday morning,
smOng others who arrived was q
large, portly man. Being driven to
the whitman house he registered
a. J. D. Garrison, Iowa. Il was very
evident be had . mission TO fulfill,
for on coming to the post ONCE 81
y O'Clock, be stationed himself at
the entrance, and scanned each
face that entered With an inquisitive
stare. CHANGING up and down the
street at intervals he saw q young
man coming towards him, and ct the
same instant the young man recog-
mixed him. The young man halted.
grew q tride pale, and turned into
Purcsll's drug store. The larger
man followed In and after q few
whispered words they both left and
went 70 the hotel.9 An interview
disclosed the facts that the young
man was J. S. Knauss, Of Logan.
Iowa, and the heavy set man was
the county sheriff Of Harrison coun-

forged q note at Logan, amounting
to several hundred dollars, besides

and having a big time, and when be

officers at his former home made eff

their endeavorF ended In q fruitless
search. His whereabouts was pro-
found secret, and would have been

ment mailed q letter TO bis girl with

saw the letter and Immediately de-
parted for Salina and after arriving
yesterday morning, captured HE

made no resistance az be saw It was
useless, and maintained his usual
comPOsure during the day They
left for Iowa to-day at eleven o'clock
where Knauss will be confined 10

Gut Him in the Back.

John Harmon is short thick set
colored man, with somewhat violent
temper, and last Tuesday about ele,.--i
a. m, he went into the shoe shop of
William Roberts, also colored, on
Orange street, and demanded of the
proprietor fifteen cents, which it is
alleged he owed him. Words between
the two followed, and finally Harmon
who was standing by the counter said
'If you don't pay me that fifteen cents
I'll slap your d neck" and turned
his back to Roberts. Roberts then
picked up a shoe knife and without a
word stabbed Harmon in the back be-
tween his shoulder blades, the knife
going into the bone. Harmon picked
up hatchet and would have retaliated
but for the interference of friends,
The knife was also taken away from
Roberts.
Harmon went to DR.. Sheppard's Of
flee and had the wound dressed. The
blood had soaked all of the back of his
clothing. Harmon says he will get it
back on Roberts, and refuses to have
him arrested.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
How to Trim Neatly at Small
Expense.

The following suggestions are equally
adapted to large tree intended for a
school entertainment, or a smaller tree
at home. First select tree of suit
able size, and good shape. Place it
firmly in a tub, keg, or bucket, by
mailing several wooden braces across
the tub from side to side, close to the
trunk of the tree, and filing ii with
sand, stones, or bricks. Cover the top
of this with moss. or bits of evergreen.
and wrap a piece of bright colored
cloth around the sides of the tub or
keg.
Various kinds of pretty ornaments
for Christmas trees can be bought at
the shops, but very good ones may be
made at home for trihe The decor
ations must be snowy and bright, but
need not be as neatly made as if they
were to undergo close inspection.
Cranberries and popped corn strung on
thread, and looped from branch to
branch, are quite effective. Chains
made out of gold and silver paper, are
used in the same way. Cut number.
of ovals about two inches long, and
remove the centers to make rings.
Join these into a chain by slipping
narrow strip Of paper, three inches
long, throught two rings, and gluing
the ends together Join on another
ring with another strip of paper, and
so on. Cut out of cardboard as man!
stars, crescents, and butterflies as
will be needed, and twice that number
out of gold and silver paper, and paste
the latter on each side of the card
board. Pass black thread through
point of the stars and cresents. and tie
in Il loop; by which it is hung on the
tree Out of blue, yellow, white, and
red tissue paper, make tassels by cut
ting the paper into tiny strips. Fasten
a bunch Of these to the butter flies,
by passing a cord around both. Small
candies, for lighting up the tree, may
be fastened in place, when the regular
candle holders are not to be had, by
bending a small-sized hair-pin over the
branch, points up, and pressing the
candle down on the pin. The work of
ornamenting the tree can be done by
the whole family but the presents
should be given to a person OF deco
corative taste and skill to hang in place
on the tree.

Italians Fright.

Sunday evening about seven o'clock,
a couple of the Italian ldborers at the
railroad shanty were playing cards.
When the game was over the victor
ious fellow jumped around his late
contestant in an aggravating manner
and was slapped in the face for his
freshness. This made him angry and
he ran into the shauty and quickly
returned with It large butcher knife
with which he threatened to cut his
antagonist. The knife was taken
from him and the fellow whom he was
so anxious to carve up, promptly
knocked him down. The fellow then
jumped up and started down town.
He fell down an embankinent and cut
his head terribly, but still proceeded
down town and told an officer that
his bruised face was the result OF the
assault. DR.. Davis attended the
bruises.
